| 0:00.0 | All right, we get a couple of the callers going. |
| 0:02.3 | We'll check the texts as well. |
| 0:04.0 | Just wanted to make sure we talked a little Michigan, Michigan State before we go down what's going to be a Super Bowl week, trade conversation with the wings and pistons. |
| 0:13.1 | And look, the Tigers, scoobble, arbitration. |
| 0:16.1 | That was a big game Friday night. |
| 0:17.8 | And I know I make fun of how abhorrent this is of a college basketball |
| 0:22.7 | town, but it was a top 10 matchup. But I think Michigan proved they are different. Like, |
| 0:29.0 | this is not close. And the way they closed that game after blowing that lead, only really good |
| 0:36.1 | to great teams do that. They didn't escape. |

| 1:09.4 | Let's get to victory. |
| 1:17.2 | Let's go celebrate in the locker room. Don't do anything to bring down the University of Michigan. I was like, okay, |
| 1:22.6 | I understand that now because it was just like, dude, everybody's just ready to go. What are you doing? You called a full time out with 30 seconds to go. I just, I don't have it in me to get butt hurt about stuff like that. Now, look, if he did what Bo Ryan did basically 25 years ago, running an alley-up with three seconds to go, then we're going to have a different problem. But see, that's why.
